Outside the villa.
Chloe got into Vincent’s luxury car.
“Chloe, it’s rare for you to be willing to be alone with me.”
Vincent’s phoenix eyes were always seductive. He smiled at the beauty beside him. “I’m very happy, but I’m afraid that Joseph, who runs a vinegar factory, will blow up if he knows we are here alone. He is still sick.”
“If not for Annie, do you think I would be willing to breathe same air as you?”
Chloe crossed her legs, crossed her arms, and said in a cold and flat voice, “Mr. Anderson, you have experienced in the love court. I know you’re tired of the women outside, so you now like the little girl, like Annie.”
Hearing the name of Annie, Vincent’s mind moved. His whole body was crawling with a numb feeling, and his voice was slightly trembling. “Chloe, the matter between me and Annie… You know it.”
“The matter between you and Annie? Heh, I don’t understand this.” Chloe sneered coldly.
“Chloe, I have nothing to hide it form you now.”
Vincent took a deep breath, his heart beating fiercely. “I, I like Annie. I want to be with her.”
“How many people did Mr. Anderson like this year?” The smile on Chloe’s lips deepened, and she did not hide her disdain for him at all.
“She is definitely the only one I love the most!”
“The most loved in your liked women, right?”
“Chloe! I am serious!”
Vincent was so anxious that his handsome face turned red. He turned around and looked at her with a burning gaze. “I admit that I used to be very playful. I have dated many women. But we have always taken what we need from each other. After that, I will break up with them.”
“I have never fell in love with any of them, but Annie is different. I am moved. Chloe, all the DNA in my body is moving for
her!
“In the end, you have stretched your claws to your good brother’s sister. As expected of Young Master Anderson, many tricks for your excitement.”
Chloe only felt that his words were ridiculous. “Moreover, Annie is the type that you have never been in contact with. You must be very excited. Men always love to challenge, and always love the new one. I know it.”
“When you get Annie, you will dislike her more than any other woman. The novelty has passed, and she can’t satisfy your vanity like a normal girl. At that time, Annie will become a rag and be mercilessly thrown away by you.”
“A rag? How can that be! I’m very cherish her. I even want to take her by my side for 24 hours! Chloe, please trust me, okay?” Vincent remembered that his voice had been cut off.
“Rather than believe a playboy will change, I might as well believe that a female pig can climb up the tree.” Chloe really wanted to roll her eyes at him.
“F*ck… Why can’t a playboy change? Why can’t me?”
“Chloe, I know that you feel sorry
for Annie and have always treated her as your own sister. But please believe me. I bet on my personality… Bah! I swear on my life!”
“I like Annie. I really can’t be more sincere! I want… I want to be with her. I want to have a future with her!”
“Okay, then let me ask you a question.”
“If your mother objects, your sister objects, your grandfather objects that you and Annie are together. They also said that if you marry Annie, you will be expelled from Anderson Group. You can get nothing from the Anderson Group. Your mother will not recognize you as her son again. Even the family will never have a peaceful day because of this matter.”
Will you still choose to be with Annie? Will you?”
Vincent’s eyes were red, and he clenched his fists tightly. “Maybe I can’t get the whole Anderson Group for the time being. Maybe the risk you said does exist. But I have already set my mind on Annie and made up my mind.”
“I will do my best to protect her, and I will never let her be bullied by anyone again, including Sawle Group’s people!”
“Answer the question.”
There’s disappointment in Chloe’s heart. She asid, “There is only one way for you to protect her, and that is to marry her and let her be the rightful Mrs. Anderson.”
“Otherwise, to some extent, your so-called protection is to harm her!”
Marry!
Vincent’s heart shook, and his lower jaw tightened. He was caught off guard and could not recover from the shock.
Seeing that he did not respond for a moment, Chloe felt that he was terrified and laughed involuntarily, “Back then, in front of me, you even had the courage to say that you wanted to marry me. Now I ask you if you dare to marry Annie. Why are you mute?”
“Or, in your Young Master Anderson’s eyes, as the miss who has the least sense of existence, Annie does not have the value to let you marry and become the hostess. Her greatest value is that you keep a mistress in your golden house and treat her as a canary that can’t see the light?”
“Chloe! You!” The blood in Vincent’s chest surged, and for the first time, he blushed with Chloe.
He finally understood why Joseph would vomit blood.
He was angered by her!
“Alright, it’s useless to say more. I respect all the true love in the world, but I don’t want Annie to suffer with you.”
Chloe thought of her little sister who had suffered a lot in Sawle family. Her eyes were slightly wet. “She has already gone through a difficult time. I don’t want her life to be worse. Vincent, your world is too complicated. For a simple Annie, it is probably unbearable.”
“Think about what I said.”
After sending Joseph to the hospital, Vincent dragged his tired body back home.
Yes, home.
He now called the villa where he and Annie were home.
Although he had a mother and a sister, ever since his father passed away, his mother had become depressed. She often went abroad to recuperate, and his sister was studying abroad.
The days he spent with Annie made him feel comfortable, relaxed, and warm.
He was even greedy and hoped that such a day could continue for a long time.
“How is Annie?” Vincent asked anxiously as soon as he saw Yoona
“Miss Sawle is in the room. I always wanted to coax her to sleep, but she seemed to have been greatly stimulated and couldn’t close her eyes no matter how hard she tried.”
“It really makes my heart ache.”
After hearing this, Vincent’s throat was filled with guilt, and he walked upstairs with heavy steps.
“I’ll go accompany her.”
“Mr. Anderson, what are you going to do about Yooung Miss?” Yoona hesitated for a moment before asking.
“Yoona, do you think that I’m especially useless sometimes?” Vincent turned his back to her and said in a low voice.
Yoona was stunned.
She had been by Mr. Anderson’s side for ten years. This man had always been unruly and noble. How could he be so unconfidentand lonely?
“Mr. Anderson, in Yoona’s heart, you have always been a god. Why do you say that?”
“But I can’t control my sister and let Annie suffer. You ask me what to do. Yoona, to be honest, I don’t know what to do either.”
When Vincent thought of how Zoey had looked when she bullied Annie, a sense of frustration welled up in her chest. “At most, I’ll send her back to Puplen, but will this solve the problem?”
“Mr. Anderson, take your time. As long as you don’t give up on Miss Sawle, even if Second Miss doesn’t like her, she will always accept this reality.”
Vincent came to the door of the room, calmed down, and pushed the door open.
“Annie? Brother Vincent is back.”
In the quiet bedroom, there was only a light on the bedside.
Annie sat alone at the bedside, curled up with her arms crossed and her head buried in her knees, motionless.
Vincent took off his black coat and put it on the sofa. Afraid of passing the cold air to her, he walked to the bedside and sat. down.
“Annie… is it still painful?” The man covered her head with his big hand and gently rubbed her soft hair.
…The girl shook her head slightly.
“Then, shall we sleep?” Vincent asked.
After asking, he started to regret.
It was as if he only wanted to sleep with her! He clearly did not mean that!
“I… am not sleepy.”
“I want to stay quietly for a while,” Annie finally said weakly.
“Then, I’ll stay with you.”
Vincent’s large hand slid downward, lovingly rubbing the back of her warm neck, his eyes full of tenderness that was about to overflow. “If you don’t sleep, I won’t sleep. If you find me annoying, I won’t say anything. I’ll just sit here and accompany you.”
“What if you’re thirsty and hungry? You always have a servant serving you tea, right?”
“What if I don’t sleep for the entire night?”
“I’ll stay with you for the night.”
“There’s no need for that… you can go to sleep.” Annie didn’t look up the entire time, and her soft voice urged him.
“Alright, if you don’t want to, then I’ll go.”
As he spoke, the man’s body moved.
At this moment, Annie suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm. Her fingers tightened and her breathing became heavier.
“Annie?” Vincent’s phoenix eyes were surprised!
“Don’t… don’t go, Brother Vincent… don’t go!” !
Annie slowly raised her head, her lower lip trembling. Her pink, cute little face was full of tears. “I lied… I was wrong… I want you to stay with me. Brother Vincent, I want you to be by my side!”
Vincent’s throat was filled with grief. His fingertips gently wiped her tears one by one. “No, I never thought of leaving. I was just teasing you.”
Annie knelt on the bed and looked at him with tears in her eyes, like a pitiful and attractive little kitten.
“Brother Vincent… Hug me.”
Vincent’s eyes instantly turned red, and he could no longer suppress his love that was about to be extinguished. He suddenly pressed her soft body into his arms.
He took a deep breath and hugged her tightly.
“Hold on tight.”
“A little tighter…”
“Yes.” Vincent rested his chin on her neck, his thin lips brushing against her red ears.
“Can you be a little tighter?”
“Okay.”
The man folded his arms again and patted her trembling back. “I want to embed you into my body. Annie, I really want you.”
Under the light, a pair of figures hugged each other tightly, as if they were a loving couple.
After hugging for an unknown period of time, Annie finally felt sleepy.
Vincent got on the bed and the two of them lay together, naturally like a loving couple who had just been married.
Annie rested her head on the man’s strong arm, her little face buried in his chest. She sobbed twice and closed her eyes.
“Annie, can I ask you à question?” Vincent held her shoulder and gently stroked her arm.
“Oh… okay.”
-“Do you
like me?” The moment Vincent asked this, his heart beat strangely.
“Oh… Of course I like.”
“It’s not that like, it’s…”
“Just like your second brother likes your second sister-in-law. Do you understand?” Vincent coughed lightly, his cheeks burning.
